ISA Server Master Browser


The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer (ISASERVER-NAME) that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced.I have found in order to correct this issue you can change the registry setting on the Primary DC, or your Global Catalog DC to be used or forced as the Master Browser.Setting the IsDomainMaster parameter entry to True or Yes makes that computer a Preferred Master Browser which has priority over other computers in master browser elections. Whenever a preferred master browser starts, it forces a browser election. Any DC running can be configured as a preferred master browser. If no other condition prevents it, the preferred master browser will always win the election. Set the parameter in the following registry path: Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key:
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters
Type:
REG_SZ
Name:
IsDomainMaster
Value:
True

Active Directory Topology Diagrammer


With the Active Directory Topology Diagrammer tool, you can read your Active Directory structure through Microsoft ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO). The Active Directory Topology Diagrammer tool automates Microft Office Visio to draw a diagram of the Active Directory Domain topology, your Active Directory Site topology, your OU structure or your current Exchange 200X Server Organization. With the Active Directory Topology Diagrammer tool, you can also draw partial Information from your Active Directory, like only one Domain or one site. The objects are linked together, and arranged in a reasonable layout that you can later interactively work withthe objects in Microsoft Office Visio.

The diagramms include domains, sites, servers, administrative groups, routing groups and connectors and can be changed manually in Visio if needed.
